Painting practice.
Two layers; one for background and one for portrait.

Process: [link]
Done with Gimp 2.7 (development release) with Gimp Paint Studio in Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala.

edit: I changed skin tones a bit. It looks more real now.
Thank you, Ramon for the tip. :icontheshock:

Very nice portrait! I think a bit more tonal variation on the hair could really make it shine. You did a great job on skin, lips and eyes!

I agree with the choice of using 2 layers, I'm currently trying to complete a realistic portrait in Gimp (it's taking forever) and I'm using only 2 layers too. Well I actually merged everything into a single layer now :)

Bye!
